Tactical Service Provider (TSP)
Abstract
The JROC validated the capability need for the TSP JCTD in FY 2007. The objective was to demonstrate and accelerate fielding of a seamlessly integrated broadband Satellite Communications (SATCOM) and mobile-wireless environment for extension of network services to the tactical user. The TSP JCTD addressed the issues of "first tactical mile" support to mobile troops via rapid implementation of expandable data networks through emerging next-generation high data rate, bi-directional Global Broadcast Services (GBS) 'at the Halt' or 'at the Pause' extended to hand-held devices for delivery of large data sets that require wide bandwidth. The TSP JCTD uses a hybrid architecture of emerging, standards-based satellite communications and wireless technologies. As integrated in the TSP JCTD, these technologies robustly support the use of commercial, DoD-tactical, and emerging net-centric enterprise service applications in a mobile tactical environment. With utility proven in USCENTCOM’s capstone Military Utility Assessment (MUA) in July 2009, the USCENTCOM Deputy Commander recommended that TSP technologies transition into Service Programs of Records to support operations in the USCENTCOM Area of Operations.
